as with most Stephen King, it could have ended 50 pages earlier and the "creepiness" relies heavily on "gross-out" rather than true terror or horror.

This book was grim. However it was also really good. I didn’t rate it too highly though as it took me so long to get through it. Also this isn’t really the type of book I’d usually go for, it was very disturbing but also fascinating at how a whole book can be written in one place with only 2 main characters.
